Friends

Friends are always important. You might have a lot of friends, but there are some friends that you know that they're always backstabbing you. Good friends doesn't care about what you did, but best friends will always advice you, motivate you and cheer you up no matter what you did. I still remember what my lecturer told me; "People cannot differentiate friends from acquaintances". It literally means that not everyone that you know can be your friends but rather they are known as acquaintances.

I have friends which are caring, hardworking , cheerful. But this one special friend of mine, he shares his feelings with me, encourages me and we share some things in common. He has never been selfish to others. Although we have this gap in education, which he's better than me by a lot, he's never laughed nor looked down on me. Perhaps, his attitude has led me to who I am today. I can't thank him more than anything else.

Here's another friend of mine, we were together most of the time during our secondary school life. We talked, we laughed and of course we picked on teachers together too. We joked a lot about teachers, talked crap and even spend most of our time together. He's definitely a very good friend that I just can't say "Thank You" but to be there for him all the time whenever he needs me. He played a vital role in my life too.

Here's another friend of mine, we met in college. Although we seldom (or never) talk to each other during our early year in foundation, we immediately became close during our degree year. He's never shy to help others. Besides having good personalities, he's never selfish and always have the attitude to always ready to share and to make sacrifices. At times, I feel like I did not do anything to enhance our friendship but he's never complain or what-so-ever.

Friends.. is a big word. Without them, we cannot survive. That's why don't ever say you don't need friends.

The Strength To Believe

No matter what we are doing, there is one thing that we need to remember: Believe.

Attempting something without believing in yourself means pushing yourself hardly which will be very stressful. When human are under stress, they tend to have their mindset towards the negative things or event, which will lead them to failure. Believing in yourself is the first step. From there, you'll be able to have a more positive thinking; and learning is definitely an essential steps in our life. Without learning and adapting ourselves to the environment, we could easily lose our way. Like what people say "Set the path/road that you're going to take". It means that we should focus on our vision and goals. Having goals will lead us towards success. Without setting the path, we could not see our future, but people that have could. When we are stuck at a point on the way to fulfill the goal, we could take alternative ways, but people that does not have, cannot do so.

Learning from our mistakes is always important. No matter who you are, there will always be a chance of you doing mistakes. Like programming, there is no way that we would not get errors. There is no perfect human being. People who cannot accept failure will one day have their "tower tumbling down" so hard that they cannot rebuild it. Expecting for the worst is always better to than expecting for the best, because once you have your ego, it can't be stopped and like what I wrote, you cannot rebuild them.

Everything is like destined. There is a chance for us to fail, and there is also a chance for us to succeed. It depends on how you want your future to be; and believing in yourself is the first step that must be taken.

Back to Blogging

Suddenly got the feeling of blogging. I know the mood of blogging will be gone soon but let me do a quick review of my life.

Jan 2010 : Excited about the new semester, the last semester for my year 1 degree. Time flies, I was in foundation one year ago and now its my last semester for my year 1 degree.Nothing much happened except CNY. This past CNY was the most memorable CNY ever. My relatives from both side, came to visit us. The most memorable thing happened was during the steamboat session in my house and Aunt Molly house. I love you Aunt Molly, thanks for the steamboat :). I still remember my first Java lab test. Omg, I was stunned and really thought I couldn't handle Java, but thanks to Steve for his guidance, I was able to do so.

Feb 2010 : February was the most relaxing month of my life for this semester. I didn't study much and was fooling around the whole time. I did complete part of my assignments like blogging and my HCI assignment. I also did something that no one know, except Steve.. not a bad thing but something that I normally wouldn't do.

March 2010 : This is perhaps the busiest month of my WHOLE life; I have 2 projects and 1 assignments, 3 presentation lining up in a week to do. Yes, I'd really admit that I didn't contribute as much as before, most of the work were done by Steve. I did however complete the 2 major project documentation. Something really shocking happened too, I got 97/100 for my HCI assignment, which I think no one else would normally get.

April 2010 : Examination season, but my exams were from 12 to 13 April, which is the shortest of all. We got back our project mark, 95/100 for our HCI project , the highest in class, and 84/100 for our Website design, which is also the highest (I think). Not to forget our HCI Test and HTML Test, both 50/50 (..lol) and 40/50 respectively. All in all, I got average of 50% for all my coursework, the highest.. 57% :P~ I'm so proud of myself this semester. I literally passed all my subjects without even sitting for my final exam. The exam were really TOUGH, I doubt I can score an A for my Java and HTML. Ah well, lets just wait for 29 April for my result.
